Since its establishment, Huai Hong Khrai Royal
Development Study Centre has conducted various
studies and activities. One highly beneficial
result is that of the forestry study project
which has served to improve the environment
in the Centre area, reduce forest fires, and
produce a moist climate particularly in the
forest development areas.
In addition, the Centre also provides the people
in the surrounding villages with services in
various fields, such as supporting animal husbandry
activities and plant seeds, and giving advice
and guidance on techniques which farmers and
other people in the surrounding villages can
adopt and apply to their daily occupations.
The implementation of the Centre had been so
fruitful and outstanding that on 15 June 2006,
following the auspicious moment of the Sixtieth
Anniversary Celebrations of His Majesty King
Bhumibol's Accession to the Throne, Their Majesties
King Letsie III and Queen Masenate Mohato Seeiso
of the Kingdom of Lesotho paid a royal visit
to Huai Hong Khrai Royal Development Study Centre
to study the work there in order to apply the
knowledge to the development of Their Majesties'
country.
